Previously, Toliver served as vice president, business development and strategy for Chevron Pipeline and Power, where she led business development and commercial functions in the pipeline and power business. She also served as a director on various joint venture boards. Before, Toliver began her career in the energy industry at Texaco working in natural gas sales, fuels management, business development, and strategic planning.
“Telisa is an excellent addition to our board,” Atmos Board Chairman Kim R. Cocklin said in a statement. “She has extensive experience in the energy sector as well as significant knowledge in a variety of areas, including governance, human resource management, supply chain and vendor management, environmental and sustainability issues, risk management, business development, and strategic planning.”
Geiser is the executive managing partner of Juniper Capital Advisors LP and the head of the Investment Committee for the firm and its funds. Before the formation of Juniper Capital, Geiser was a managing director at Och-Ziff Capital Management where he focused on Och-Ziff’s private investing activity in the energy industry from 2008 to 2013. Prior to Och-Ziff, Geiser worked at each of the Merrill Lynch and Morgan Stanley Investment Banking Groups where he provided strategic advisory and capital markets services to companies involved in the energy industry.
From January 2021 to June 2023, Geiser was chairman of the board of Ranger Oil Corp., a formerly publicly traded oil and gas company. He was also chair of the nomination, environmental, social, and governance committee and a member of the compensation committee.
“Eddie has a significant amount of experience in the energy sector and brings to the Board of Directors many years of management in public and private finance,” Cocklinl said. “He will add significant value to the board’s strategic and financial discussions. He also brings to the table experience in executive compensation matters.”
